1,166. Middle Tennessee. Horizontal turners are closer to the more natural way eggs are incubated by hens, but the vertical ones fit more in a smaller space and are adequate for most eggs... it comes down mostly to amount of eggs vs less really... Aug 26, 2016. #3.
The horizontal nipples are far superior for resistance to freezing, I switched from the gravity ones because they were freezing even with 2 heat tapes on my pvc pipe system. I haven't had an issue with the horizontal one's freezing at all with the use of a heat tape, and I am in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Winter would be buckets on stands with a deicer and horizontal nipples. 8 birds so three nipples, I would use a vertical nipple system on a pipe for summer. There will be some issues teaching them to swap but nothing difficult. Don't bother insulating the bucket. the chicks will peck at it , The deicer will run longer but should keep it above 32.
I am in the process of builing a chicken coop. I am going to be putting old wood on the outside to form a siding look. Is there a huge difference in whether or not the siding is vertical or horizontal. The coop will be enclosed inside of a run in about 2 more weeks, to keep it from direct elements. The wood siding will be going around this:
marilynszoo I've used both horizontal and vertical nipples and definitely prefer the horizontal ones. The vertical ones do sometimes stick and drip. For keeping the water from freezing I use a birdbath de-icer in the bucket; works great! chicknanny13 I use the horizontal nipples on a plastic container w/lid, LOVE IT no more dirt/shavings in the ...
For an indoor cage, pigeons are not like parrots and use horizontal space rather than vertical space. Large birdcages/flight cages or dog crates work great for pigeons. A good minimum cage size (for indoors) is 42 inches wide, 27 inches deep, and 30 inches high.
These types of blocks are designed to be used with the openings vertical and filled with concrete. For a small chicken coop they should be fine without being filled but the correct orientation I would think should still be maintained. With the hollow blocks laying on their sides (openings visible) there is probably a little over 40 square ...

Again, the FR's did more free ranging than the CX; but the CX got fermented feed so one would think it'd be different than the grocer. However, the FR's have a noticeably thinner breast meat - it's not the double breast like the CX. We're fine with that. There is still plenty to go around our table.
That is fine for some as it can be mounted inside the coop in many cases. Mine was outside so I used a gallon jug and cut it out and glued and taped it to the side of the coop in the horizontal install. My second door is a vertical install so a bottle of apple juice upside down over the motor - sure easy for vertical install.
